I think you're filtering off the wrong line; "From " has timedate
garbage at the end. Why not use something like:

:0:
* ^X-Mailing-List:.*debian-user@lists.debian.org>
User

:0:
* ^X-Mailing-List:.*debian-project@lists.debian.org>
User

:0:
* ^X-Mailing-List:.*debian-devel@lists.debian.org>
Devel

:0:
* ^X-Mailing-List:.*debian-flame@lists.debian.org>
/dev/null

:0:
* ^X-Mailing-List:.*@lists.debian.org>
Debian

In other words:
1) don't bother with H and fancy nested patterns: just have another
recipe for the same mailbox,
2) use a cleaner mail header that's always the same,
3) by throwing away one list, you might be able to have a simple
catcher at the end as above.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
